anyone here know about mics / have a recording set-up?

[Bureaucrat™]

who here knows anything about microphones? what brand/model you have or which ones would be best for a simple recording lab (primarily for vocals only).

some mics that have been mentioned to me to look into/buy are:

Lower-End/Cheap (inexpensive)
Apex 420
Apex 435

Higher-End
Audio-Technica 3035
Cad M9

even if y'all could ask your engineer/recording artist homies... that would be mad dope. thankks.

:cool:

I've had a bluebird and an akg 414b, they both work great

If your on a really tight budget the MXL 990 isnt too bad, if you can go a higher budget wise you can cop the Shure SM7 or The EV RE20 and stay under $500 I wouldnt bother with a higher end mic if your using sh!tty preamp/coonverters...

If your going through an apogee or an avalon then I'd go with a Neumann U87 (under $2000 used)

thanks a lot.

what are some of the better budget pre-amps you can get?
